Hey guys! It's been a long time since I've been on the boards but I think I am going to set up my 75gal in my classroom (since its not getting any use in the garage!). Does anyone know if this lamp can be placed on top of the glass and not hung above with those clips...

I've had the same EcoComplete in my tanks since ~2004/2005 and it has been placed in various tanks since (also, I acquired it from someone else.. so I'm not sure how old it really is). I lost all my plants on this last move and I really want to re-establish the tank that has been plantless for...

Hey guys! It has been a very long time since I've been on AA but ever since I broke down and condensed my 75gal planted into a 29 gallon (and then moved and lost all my fish and plants) I haven't had too many fish related issues. Currently I have a 29 gallon tank with the simple hooded light...

Does anyone know what happened to Feline Advice? It just up and disappeared.

So I noticed that my filter intake tube was detached from the actual tube and so my filter wasn't running. Apparently this had been going on for a while because when I fixed it and plugged it in, not only did my canister filter (Ehiem pro II) just hum and click but upon further inspection the...

So, I got a job teaching HS Biology (sqweeeee!!!) and I plan to set up my 3gal tank and possibly my 29gal. As much as I wanted to go the turtle route, I think fish might be easier for my first year of teaching =o) Anyways, the school colors are Navy and Scarlett (red) and I kinda wanted to have...

I don't do spiders. Well, I don't mind some spiders, but the bigger they are and the more they resemble crabs (crabs creep me out, too) the more freaked out I become. I went to let the dog out a few minutes ago and I noticed this on the INSIDE of the screen.

Today I received 5 really large emerald green cories from a really sweet girl on Livejournal. They are HUGE and so very pretty =o) Hopefully they adjust well to the different pH's. I slowly acclimated them so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Also, while waiting to meet the girl with the cories I...

I will hopefully have my own classroom in a few months (if anyone will give me a teaching job!) and I would LOVE to have a tank in there with turtles. I have an empty 29gal and I would like a turtle (or two) that could comfortably live in a 29gal. I need something with fairly easy maintenance...

I have a huge bag of natural gravel (it's a 50lb bag and I've probably used about 10-15 lbs of it already) and my dog peed all over the bag. Is there any way I can use this gravel again? I figure it is essentially ammonia and I could rinse it thoroughly but I don't want to risk it if it could...

My boyfriends parents bought me a Red Sea Fresh Lab Deluxe testing kit for Christmas and this is the first time I have tested the ammonia levels using this kit (I have another kit Ive been using instead for the ammonia). It says "Read off the ppm value of the color that is closest to the sample...

So I ventured out to a new fishstore (which was AMAZING) and I ran across a tank filled with "parrot blue rams." They were identical to german blues in color, but their shape was more... blood parrot. I asked the guy what the difference was and he said there wasn't really much difference between...

So I was picking up the toilet paper my cat decided to shred in the study when I noticed what appeared to be one of my hatchets. Where this fish was was about 8 feet away from the tank and in the OTHER ROOM. I checked my tank and there were no major gaps and the only gaps were in the back so if...

I'm pretty sure my angelfish is preggo and tonight I caught her and my other angelfish "kissing" and I wasn't sure if they were fighting or if they were mating? Any ideas?

I am looking at Greg Watson's and I want to make sure I have this right in my head. The PMDD mix has my macro doses/nutrients and the CSM+B Plantex are my micro nutrients? I'm thinking about getting my tank running properly with the plants this next week ( because right now it has plants, just...

How difficult is it to find the rummynose tetras that have the blue on their tail? I believe those are referred to as "true rummynose." I would like to get about 7-10 of them but I was told the ones with the blue tailes were more difficult to get ahold of. How true is that?

I have java moss covering the ground on one side of my tank and for the past week or so it has been growing some algae (it looks like). Today I moved it around and its actually thicker than it looks and isn't nearly as slimey. However, it sticks to EVERYTHING. It isn't growing anywhere else in...

I got my water tested at two different places and they both said my pH is waaaaay off the charts- well above 8. Now, what do I do about this?!? I have pH buffer: http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ctl3684/cp18581/si1380256/cl0/seachemneutralregulator250grams but I know adding chemicals...

I noticed it first with my Odessa barb, but thought the serpae tetras were just nipping at him too much. Now I noticed my oldest angel fish having possible fin rot. With the Odessa barb, his back fin was red (looked like broken blood vessels) and his fin looks overly nipped (now Im thinking fin...

I finally got a pair of German Blue rams. They had been in the store for at least a week and they were medium sized, colorful and fiesty. So I bought two! They seem to be doing alright. They don't have their full color back yet but they aren't dead. I think I might do a small water change later...

My 75gal is very UNDER stocked at the moment yet ever so often I get fish that just don't thrive. I purchased two albino kribs a few months back, and later I purchased two normal kribs- all relativly the same size. Well, today I found both my albino's dead out of the blue. Also, I purchased an...

My 29gal has been empty for some time and I just don't know what to put in it because I have the majority of fish I like in my 75gal. So I was thinking about something simple but colorful. Im thinking about getting 10 neon tetras but I would like one or two larger "centerpiece" fish but I can't...

I think the problem with my CO2 canister is in the regulator and since Christmas is around the corner I might as well as for a new one. So... can I just get a regulator like this: http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulator/single/641.shtml or...

I have a 3gal tank with a filter and a heater and I don't think I want to go the fish route with it. It used to house a betta and two rasboras but all died regardless how clean the water was. I think I want to go the shrimp and snails route. How many can I put in a 3gal?

When do you have too much lighting? I was telling a lfs worker my on going issues with my tank and when I said I had a 250 watt light, their mouth dropped and they said asked me if my plants were just fried and said that was WAY too much light. I have a 75gal, 250 watt with eco complete and a...
